“But it will give someone else a go and hopefully, the boys get it done next week.”

Meanwhile, at Golden Square, midfielder Jack Geary says he’s unsure of the extent of an elbow injury suffered against South Bendigo last weekend.

“I got a minor hyper-extension of the elbow, but I’m not sure what the go is with it yet,” said Geary, who lost just his second game in 51 senior matches for the Bulldogs last Saturday.

“It’s not very sore and I’ve been able to work all week (landscaping), but it could be a bit of a problem down the track, so I’ll know more when I get it checked out.”

At South Bendigo, the Bloods are also unsure how serious the jaw injury suffered by onballer Justin Wilson is.

Wilson sustained the jaw injury in a friendly-fire collision with Justin Maddern late in the third quarter of the clash with Golden Square, but returned to the field.

“He was meant to get an X-ray over the last couple of days, but still hasn’t, so we’re not sure,” Bloods coach Rick Coburn said.

“I’d be surprised if it was a full-on break of the jaw because he was moving it after the game.

“There could be a little crack in it, which I’d say would probably keep him out of this week and inter-league.”

In other injury news at South Bendigo, the Bloods still have Marcus Varley and Rory Alexander out with shoulder injuries. Alexander is a chance of playing for the Bloods after the inter-league bye, while Varley could still be up to a month away from resuming.

Kelvin Williams, who has impressed off half-back, should be back from his hamstring injury against Castlemaine on June 1.

Kangaroo Flat isn’t ruling out the prospect of captain Tyson Mihocek returning from a dislocated shoulder this Saturday against Sandhurst.

Mihocek suffered the shoulder injury against Eaglehawk on Anzac Day. If he doesn’t play this week, Mihocek will get an extra 21 days to recover as the Roos’ next senior game after the Dragons is against Strathfieldsaye on June 8.

The Roos are hopeful ruckman Nick Lang, who had a hip operation during the pre-season, will be right to start his season within the next month.
